Ukuthuthela kwe-Apple kuma-chips ayo okuphatha amandla kungase kuqede umphakeli wamanje

Ezinyangeni ezimbalwa ezedlule, kube nezinkulumo eziningi mayelana ne-Apple ezama ukuhambisa ukukhiqizwa kwezinye izingxenye kusuka kubahlinzeki bangaphandle kuya kunethiwekhi yayo yokukhiqiza. Ingxenye enjalo kufanele kube ama-chips okuphatha amandla edivayisi. Manje isinyathelo esifanayo siqinisekiswe ngokungaqondile ngumnikazi wenkampani ehlinzeka ngalezi zingxenye ze-Apple. Futhi njengoba kubonakala, lokhu kungase kube isinyathelo sokuvala leyo nkampani.

Lona umphakeli obizwa nge-Dialog Semiconductor. Eminyakeni embalwa edlule, ubehlinzeka i-Apple ngama-microprocessors okuphatha amandla, okungukuthi lokho okubizwa ngokuthi ukuphathwa kwamandla kwangaphakathi. Umqondisi wenkampani udonse ukunaka eqinisweni lokuthi kunezikhathi ezinzima ezilindele inkampani enkulumweni yokugcina yabaninimasheya. Ngokusho kwakhe, kulo nyaka i-Apple inqume uku-oda ama-30% ngaphansi kwamaphrosesa ashiwo ngenhla kunonyaka odlule.

Lokhu kuyinkinga yenkampani, njengoba imiyalo ye-Apple yenza cishe izingxenye ezintathu kwezine zomkhiqizo ophelele wenkampani. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-CEO ye-Dialog Semiconductors ikuqinisekisile ukuthi lokhu kwehliswa kuzoqhutshwa eminyakeni elandelayo, futhi umthamo wama-oda we-Apple uzokwehla kancane kancane. Lokhu kungaba inkinga enkulu kakhulu enkampanini. Ngenxa yalesi simo ukuqinisekisile ukuthi kumanje uzama ukuthola amakhasimende amasha kodwa umgwaqo uzodla lubi.

Uma i-Apple iza nezixazululo zayo ze-chip zokuphatha amandla, cishe zizoba zinhle kakhulu. Lokhu kuletha inselelo ezinkampanini ezisebenza kulo mkhakha okuzodingeka ziyinqobe ukuze zihlale ziheha amakhasimende azo alandelayo. Kungalindelwa ukuthi i-Apple ngeke ikwazi ukukhiqiza ngokushesha ama-microprocessors ayo ngamanani anele, ngakho ukubambisana ne-Dialog Semiconductors kuzoqhubeka. Kodwa-ke, inkampani kuzofanele ihlangabezane nezidingo eziqinile ukuze imikhiqizo yayo ekhiqizwe ifane naleyo eyenziwe ngabakwa-Apple.

Ukukhiqiza ngokwakho amaphrosesa okuphathwa kwamandla kungesinye sezinyathelo ezimbalwa i-Apple efuna ukuhlukana ngayo nokuncika kubahlinzeki bangaphandle abakhiqiza izingxenye zayo. Ngonyaka odlule, i-Apple yethula iphrosesa enomongo wayo wehluzo okokuqala ngqa. Sizobona ukuthi onjiniyela bakwa-Apple bazokwazi ukuya kude kangakanani mayelana nokuklama nokukhiqiza izixazululo zabo.
